about

A journey across the world -- to Japan's holy mountain, Koyasan -- lads to the realization that our desires as well as life's impermanence follow us wherever we may travel.

lyrics

Everywhere the Longing

We came to the mountain / to understand the silence / See the patterns of hills and walls below / But still my questions outnumber what I know // CHORUS: What did we think we'd find / on the other side of the world / Traveling to great heights / but the stones whisper the same thing / Everywhere the sunrise, everywhere the longing // We came seeking answers / The nameless stones stood silent / Cedar trees and moss all whispered nothing, nothing, nothing / Ashes that were buried, they told many stories / Each one with the same ending // CHORUS
